Key recommendations and findings from the HSE Conti ransomware attack

The healthcare sector has been in the crosshairs of ransomware gangs.

One of the victims of last year was Ireland’s Health Services Executive. A report analysing the Conti ransomware attack was published as a follow-up to the incident. This Independent Post Incident Review provides a long list of recommendations that are not only valuable for the HSE but read as a “must-do” list for other organisations to be better prepared for such ransomware incidents.

I extracted the recommendations from the document and put the list on Github: https://github.com/cudeso/tools/tree/master/hse-conti-ransomware.
